Q. What are the best solutions for hyperpigmentation?

A combination of skincare and professional treatments will correct and prevent hyperpigmentation.

The most important product to include in your routine is sunscreen. This will protect your skin from hyperpigmentation worsening and prevent future hyperpigmentation from forming. Other ingredients to add to your routine include retinoids, hydroquinone, tyrosinase inhibitors, and vitamin c. Products with these ingredients will increase cell turnover and lighten/brighten the skin.

In-office treatments that correct hyperpigmentation include lasers, microneedling, and chemical peels. The source of your hyperpigmentation, the color of the mark, and your skin tone all determine which treatment is appropriate for you.

Consult with a licensed skincare professional to guide you to what treatment plan would best suit your needs and goals.
